Everything was great! If we had any questions regarding timelines or updates the embassy ALWAYS responded to our emails either same day or next, no later. So I really appreciated that!
The interview was well organized, no hassle, nice flow of traffic and straight to the point. From waiting to end if interview it took about an hour.

Medical check up:
I saw horrific reviews (JHB) so I was really worried, but it was pretty smooth. You truly have to allot a whole day to getting it done, just be patient (bring a book/ download some shows) and you'll be fine! Make sure to bring everything they ask in the email + a pen. The location of the clinic is literally inside Sandton City Mall, by the standard bank (I accidentally went to another location but they were understanding about my being late).
Interview:
For some reason I thought it would be a one-on-one interview in a room, but it was just an informal questioning at the tbank eller/booth area. Again, make sure you bring a pen! Total took around 1.5 hours at the consulate. You're not allowed your phone/ electronics past the entrance so maybe bring a book/ Sudoku puzzle. Most important items to bring: passport, birth certificate+copy, other applicable death/divorce/military certificates+copies, visa size photos, police clearance certificate... read complete review

Jon arrived at the consulate approximately 90 minutes prior to his appointment time, and passed through security without issue. He stayed at the nearby Protea Hotel Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton, and was able to leave his luggage with the concierge until after the interview.
After passing security, Jon was given a blue folder and a checklist and asked to place the documents listed into the folder. Even then, the CO did not review them all (see below).
CO met with Jon at a window setting, and was very straightforward and professional with his approach. Questions were only five in total:
*What is your fiancée's name
*Where does she live
*How did you two meet
*Have you ever met in person
*What are your wedding plans
Very simple and to the point. Other COs seemed a bit friendlier but the one Jon had was just all business. He spent much longer with other interviewees prior to Jon but for some reason, everything w... read complete review

Davyd arrived early for his 9:30 interview, and was called in early at 9:10. He stayed at the nearby Blackbrick hotel, which was lovely and very close to the Consulate.
The interview lasted less than 10 minutes and was very straight forward.
Questions were all standard - how and when did you meet?, when did you start speaking romantically?, what do you and your fiancé do for work?, have you met one another’s families?, how many times have you visited one another?, what do you love about your fiancé?, when you visited your fiancé in the US, where did you stay and did you do any paid work while there?, how, when, and where did you propose?, have you made wedding plans?, what do you plan to do for work once in the US? …
Then the evidence of relationship was briefly reviewed (dated photos, passport stamps, flights/hotel/uber receipts, messages, etc.) along with my I-134 financial support form and accompanying docs, and other required doc... read complete review
